IIT Gandhinagar Announces Early-Career Fellowship – Rs 1 Lakh pm

The IIT Gandhinagar Early-Career Fellowship (IITGN-ECF) offers young scholars the opportunity to work on exciting challenges or research problems in a creative and interdisciplinary ecosystem. Fellows in the program will have access not only to their assigned department but to the entire research infrastructure and facility of the Institute, which prizes interdisciplinarity.

Who Should Apply?

The applicant should have successfully defended their Ph.D. thesis from an Indian Institution/University on or after July 1, 2020. They should demonstrate high-quality research work, supported by scholarly publications. The candidates who have submitted their doctoral thesis are also welcome to apply.

Fellowship:

• Fellowship of Rs 1,00,000 per month (Rs 90,000 plus Rs 10,000 HRA).

• Professional development grant of up to Rs 2 Lakh per year.

• The Fellowship is initially for one year, which can be extended up to two years if performance is outstanding.

The opportunity to work on an exciting challenge or a research problem is the dream of a scholar, especially when possible within a creative and innovative ecosystem. IITGN-ECF is designed to offer these possibilities and support young scholars in their pursuit of excellence. With the possibility of

extraordinary personal and professional growth, IITGN-ECF would prepare you for an independent futuristic academic career. The opportunities presented to you through IITGN-ECF offer access not only to a department but to the entire research infrastructure and facility of the Institute. The non-existent boundaries of disciplines at IITGN allow you to unlock the potential to experiment and contribute to the interdisciplinary ecosystem, which was carefully built over the years.

The Early-Career Fellowship Programme demands an outstanding academic track record with limited opportunities for the year 2021. While the expectation from the candidates is very high, the Institute is committed to providing necessary support along with a conducive environment to achieve the goals. Fellows are expected to reach higher scales in their research outcome with significant impact, and that will be supported through exposure to networking for collaborative research, student mentoring, external grant writing, engaging in transformative projects and missions, pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors, etc.

Selected candidates will work with an IITGN faculty member on a well-identified research problem that leads to a significant research contribution through scholarly publications. They are also expected to guide student projects, conduct scholarly activities, and attend international workshops. The Fellowship offers promising young scholars an
opportunity to advance their scholarship and academic leadership with the aspiration
of joining the top academic institutions in the country.
